Windows Live Messenger Aero 2009 by mxr576 on 12-28-2009 at 10:38 AM

Hy Ebody!

I found this interesting psd file on http://www.downturk.info/64314-windows-live-messenger-aero-2009.html , but I didn't find this skin yet.
Maybe it just a psd visual style, but I would be more than happy if it will be an available WLM9 skin for all WLM users.
Sadly I dunno how to make skins, i've never tried it yet, but It would be fantastic if somebody can do it a skin.

What would you say?

as much as I'd like a glassy Messenger like that, this isn't possible with Plus! skinning

You don't need a skin for transparency, it's built into Plus!, look in Preferences. Here's an example:

the screenshot shown in the first post was all in a Vista/7 style aero, Messenger can't use aero or transparent window images except to the window boarders which are rendered by Windows itself.

Messenger Plus! can only change the overall transparency of the whole window, it can't replace background images with translucent ones
